Trademarks, patents, utility models, designs and copyrights together form an essential part of the foundation for your business in Japan and secure your chances for sustained growth.

Our group's IP department, represented by local patent attorneys and foreign experts, supports you in securing your rights by filing applications, oppositions, arguments and suits. Our services also include watching services, comprehensive trademark and patent searches, renewals and technical translations. We are the first in Japan to handle the detection and tracking of copyright infringements and criminal activities conducted over the Internet against foreign right holders.

Moreover, our IP team liaises with our regulatory compliance and customs specialists because problems often arise from a failure to comply simultaneously with the regulations in all three fields.

In this way, we are able to foresee possible issues and ensure that the secured intellectual property is of real support to your business. 

In alliance with strategic partners, we also coordinate trademark searches and filings as well as PCT national phase filings in numerous East Asian countries.
